Read my post again. It covers that issue. Perhaps more concisely than you are used to, but it is in there.



I'm perfectly comfortable with concision, thank you.

Clearly one can interpret the Golden Rule two ways depending on whether you take into account the other person's different values or not.

For example, you're probably patting yourself on the back for being "concise" despite using more words to praise your original comment than it would have taken to clarify it, whereas I'm resenting you for the way you've ostentatiously foregone social niceties at my expense.

Is that really what you would have wanted in my place? Despite your ability to parse it, I don't think you understand the Golden Rule very well.
